Review at Armchair General
Score: 89% By adding smaller campaigns that dont overwhelm gamers with their length but still use the engines plethora of features, The Bloody Road South makes this extraordinary series more accessible. Newcomers might still be daunted by all the options but a little patience will yield grand rewards in terms of education and fun.

Review at Historia Games (French)
8/10 "Even if it only brings additional scenarios without fundamentally changing the basic game, Bloody Road is a challenging expansion and offers campaigns (large or small) that will occupy the players for long hours at an affordable price."
